The claim
The viral post shows a man wearing sleek, glowing shoes branded as “Aerofoot”. He appears to rise off a small platform and hover a few feet above the ground in what appears to be an expo hall with attendees in traditional attire. The video is associated with the title “Gitex” or “GITEX” (a tech exhibition).
